Big Money on Tenpins.

Mr.. John A. ST. John was the first
person in st. Louis to score 900 at
tenpins, although that record has been
repeatedly equaled. Speaking of the
matter to reporter he asked: did
l ever tell you of my match for 81, 800

Never"

the regatta a couple years ago, and
one day we had to go over to get 50, 900
to pay the men. Zach of us took half
of it, and few minutes afterwards we
both happened to meet in the tenpin
alley under the hotel. A crowd of Ia
dies were gathered around Hanlan,
asking him to roll a game of tenpins,
and he agreed, and turned towards me
as though we were casual acquain-
tances.
"Do you care to roll game, Mr.. st.
john" said he.
Il don't care, said I; shall we put
up anything to make it interesting?
Whatsoever you please.
"' Well, say $500 apiece
IAN right
each of us had q bundle of money
in our pocket, and we counted out $50
or 500 each and handed it with
flourish to Plaisted as stakeholder He
tumbled into the joke right away, and
the game began amid the most intense
excitement of the spectators, especially
the ladies. In order to keep things
rolling we would bet 500 to $500 on
strikes straight along, and then double
or quit on the next pay. The rumor
spread all over the ground that game
of tenpins for big money was going on,
and such a crush of people came into
the alley that we could hardly keep
the boards clear. You have no idea of
the excitement. You could hear the
girls draw a long breath altogether
when the bail rolled down the alley,
upon which 500 supposition dollars
was depending and L soon had the
sympathy Of the crowd. Hanlan and L
altered the betting so that all losings
on the strikes should be held by the
stakeholder and go to the winner of
the game. AS We neared the end of
the match gentleman came in under
the greatest excitement.

he rearranged the great pile of green

How much money have they up?'
about $1,000 so far
%, it will have to be stopped; it is
monstrous, cried the gentleman; and
he ran out of the alley to get some one

After while we got away from the
crowd to our rooms and then over
half dozen bottles of Mumm we had
n general restitution property, and
hearty laugh over the whole episode.
But that was not the end of the
story, for some of the girls, God bless
them, were so sorry for my great losses
that they tried to make it up to me in
bands and slippers. They en-
broidered all kinds of ornamental af-
fairs for me, and it was months before

FIVE MORE ASSISTANTS.

Recommendations Made by Build-
ing Inspector Johnson-.SOme Fine
+ Structures.
The annual report of Building Inspector
johnson has been sent to the mayors office.
The report recommends the addition to the
force of five more assistants, one of whom
would be practical plumber. one an eX-
pert machinist and three practical archi-
tects, mechanics and builders. The fees
and receipts of the department during the
year amounted to IS. SO, and the cost of
running the department was $500, leav-
ing a balance of 50. 5000. The number Of
permits issued was $3.50. and the cost esti-
mated by owners was Sc. 056. 032.70. To
this Mr.. johnson has added 40 per cent. as
he thinks the cost has been greatly under
estimated by owners.
The grand total expended for building
Improvements in st. Paul during the past
year is placed at 9.753, 1870. This
does not include the cost of the new bridges
finished in 1856. Mr.. johnson adds:
1t is a matter of general congratulation to
note the confidence of many of our citizens
in the great and promising future of our city,

MT. Mansfield Opens to Small
House Last Nlght--A Fairly Clever
Comedy Produced by a Strong
Cast.
Whether it was because too much was
expected of the actor on account of the
reputation that preceded him. or whether it
was because of the lack of inspiration re-
sulting from a small audience, Mr.. Mans
fields production of prince Karl" at the
opera house last evening was a disappoint-
ment. Mr.. Mansfield has achieved some
reputation as a dialect comedian, and de-
servedly so. His Baron de Chevrial is re-
memDered as most artistic piece of char
acter work. But his Prince Karl" is not
the mastery creation that it had been repre-
scented to be. At the same time it IS fairly
clever and there are some touches of fin
ished comedy in it. Mr.. Mansfield does as
clean and unalloyed bit of comedy work
as the lines will permit. The play drags
until the third act, when it is enllvened by
the introduction of some of Mansfield's mu-
steal specialties. His impersonaton of the
queer characters met at the seashore is per-
haps the most catchy feature of the entire
production. The best dramatic qualities
are exhibited in the last act. where the love
climax is reached and his identity as the
true prince Is revealed to his lnamOrata.
Mr.. Mansfields Prince Karl" is phase of
German comedy entirely different from that
interpreted by either Joe j Jefferson or Fritz
Emmett-in fact, there is nothing 20 suggest
similarity to either of these noted come
dians. In attempting to relieve it of VIII at
he calls ''low Dutch business" he has un.
fortunately knocked great deal of comedy
out of it. There may be a great deal that
Is ridiculous in high German life, but there
is very little comedy in Mansfield's interpre-
tation of it. There is entirely too much of
the stilted dudistic style and flavor about
the production to make it popular. The
supporting company is composed of skilled
and well-known players, and Mr. Mansfield
has generously given them chance to make
the most of their parts. What the young
ladies lack in stage paint and costuming
they make up in most capital acting.

found to be n serious obstacle to the proper
transaction of the business of the depart
ment.
Third-The repeal of the present law relat-
ing to street sprinkling, and that legislation
be procured authorizing the council TO divld e
the city into three or more sprinkling dis
tricts, and that orders and assessments for
sprinkling be made III the same manner as
for the building of sidewalks.
Fourth--That the law be so amended to re-
duce the cost OF publishing assessment no
tees.
Fifth-That legislation be procured author
fzing the letting of contracts for paving or

ter Of the young American widow in love
with the prince. Her acting is natural

just enough of commingled chic and tender
sentiment to make delightful portraiture
of the character. Although she has less
prominent part, Miss Sheridan displays the
same excellent qualities in her impersona-
ton of the Vassar girl friend to the young
widow. Miss Germon plays the mother-in-
law with becoming dignity and a correct
appreciation of the character of scheming
old woman who is trying to get the prince
into her net. OF the gentlemen of the cast,
Mr.. Frankau is decidedly the best. The
same bin tonight.

London Paper.
AS an illustration of the old saying that
doctors will differ" the following is re-
lated by a physician of unquestioned verac-
ity: In the course of lecture which he
was delivering before number of students,
he had brought in by the mother child
months old, which, he stated, was suffering
from a very peculiar affection, one seldom
seen in this country, and he requested five
of the students present each separately to
diagnose the case. The first gave it as his
medical belief that the child was suffering
from incipient pneumonia; the second,
after examination, pronounced it incipent
diphtheria; the third staked his reputation
upon its being peritonitis; the fourth called
it marasmus; while the fifth said it was
malaria" When they had each made a
careful examination, the lecturer said:
We'll, gentlemen, have you anything
further to say in regard to the case?"
Nothing more than has been already
said," was the reply from each.

holding it up before them, ''fThis is child
that has never had days sickness since its

Clerk of the Supreme Court Mich
Ols' Last Day.
The following opinion was handed down
in the supreme court yesterday:
John Busterud. appellant, VS.. ellison F. Far
rington, respondent.
Syllabus-An action of demit lies against
one who makes a false representation Of a
material fact susceptible of knowledge, known
to be false as of his own knowledge, when he
does not know whether it is true or false with
intention to induce tie person to whom it is
made in reliance upon it, to do or refrain
from doing something to his primary hurt,
when such person, acting with reasonable
prudence, is thereby deceived and induced so
TO do or refrain to his damage. 1t is not nee
essary to the action that the person making
the representation should derive any benefit
from the demit, or coliude with the party who
is benefited. A person not a vendor of the
thing with reference to the sale of which he
makes false representation of the value
thereof, is responsible for such repl esenta-
ton. A false representation as to the quality
or other matters affecting the value of prop
erty to which the person to whom the repre-
sentation is made is contem plating pur-
chase, or false representation as to natural
facts. Order sustaining demurrer reversed.
